Samsung revamps its voice assistant with One UI 9.5: It will run tasks in the background
Apple's updates to Siri have also raised expectations among Samsung users. According to new reports, Bixby, which has lacked many features in Turkey for years, will be completely revamped with One UI 9.5.

Smartphone manufacturers have focused more on software features than hardware in recent years. Samsung is preparing to extensively update the Bixby assistant with the One UI 9.5 release.
With the update, Bixby handles tasks such as booking hotels and scheduling appointments, while topic summary and speaker tracking features are added to the Voice Recorder app.
Bixby is updated with One UI 9.5
Samsung is preparing new features for its smartphone software, One UI. According to information shared by SamMobile and reported by Android Authority, the One UI 9.5 update will bring artificial intelligence (AI) agent capabilities to the Bixby voice assistant. Similar to Apple Intelligence-powered Siri on iPhone, Galaxy users will also be able to perform a wider range of operations through the assistant.

Galaxy users can currently use the Google Gemini app to run certain tasks in the background; the new version plans to integrate these capabilities directly into Bixby.
How will Bixby manage background tasks?
Examining the Bixby version under development, SamMobile reported that the assistant can manage background processes such as making hotel reservations or scheduling calendar appointments. In a test, the assistant was asked to report the USD-INR exchange rate every morning, and this request was listed as a recurring task in the "Actions" section on the Bixby app sidebar.
The system works through the following steps:

Speaker tracking and topic summary are coming to the Voice Recorder app
The updates in One UI 9.5 are not limited to the voice assistant. Two new artificial intelligence (AI) features are being tested for the device's built-in Voice Recorder app. The first of these features, "Topical outline," groups recorded audio by topic headings. If a future meeting or appointment is mentioned in the recorded conversation, a reminder can also be created directly through the app.
The second feature, "Speaker summary," allows tracking what different people in the recording said individually. Information leaked through the same source last week showed that the Samsung Health and Calendar apps will also be updated with One UI 9.5.
When will One UI 9.5 be released?
Samsung is testing these features internally. The company has not yet announced which devices will receive the updates or specified an exact release date. Reports indicate that One UI 9.5 could debut with the Galaxy S27 series, expected to launch in early 2027. Leaks also show that the company is running One UI 9.5 beta tests on the Galaxy S26 Ultra.
